MALTA, Mont. (NMB) – The nomination deadline has passed for municipal elections in PhillipsCounty.
For the position of Mayor of Malta, incumbent John Demarais was the only candidate to file.
For a seat representing Ward 1 on the Malta City Council, incumbent David Rummel will take on Steen McFadden.
For a seat representing Ward 2 in Malta, incumbent Bonnie Wiederrick was the only candidate to file.
For the town of Dodson, Angel Arocha and Glenn Dolphay will be competing to be the Mayor. Arocha has been the Mayor of Dodson after being appointed in the wake of Terri Cole’s resignation.
There will be three candidates on the ballot to compete for two spots on the Dodson Council: Skip Cole, Francine Stiffarm, and Ava Welch.
For the town of Saco, L.A. “Mac” McIntosh and Wayne Woodall are running for Mayor.
For the Saco Council, Don Minnerath is the only candidate running for an unexpired two-year term, while Roberta Christopherson was the only candidate to file in the race to fill two four-year terms.
Since there are fewer canidates than there are open seats on the Saco Council, the town will appoint someone to fill the other seat if there are no declared write-ins.
Although the nomination deadline has closed, people can still enter races as a declared write-in until through August 30th.
All races are non-partisan.
There is unlikely to be a primary for the election due to the limited number of candidates.
The general election is scheduled for November 2nd.
